Vance: If Europe had independence, the Iraq war wouldn’t have happened

In an ierview with a British media, US Vice Preside Judd Venus described his views on European security, the Ukrainian war, the Trump administration’s trade tariffs and transcript relations.

In an ierview with Ann Hardd’s News website released this week, Venus said, “I love the people of Europe” and emphasized the necessity that the European coine should no longer consider itself a “permane security affiliation” on the United States.

Venus’s look at US -European relations

“I have said many times that American culture cannot be separated from European culture,” Venus said in a conversation. The United States is the result of the philosophies, moods and patterns of immigration that originated from Europe. “

“It is not good for Europe to remain a security function for the United States forever,” Venus added. “The more European security independence will be beneficial to the United States itself.” Referring to the US invasion of Iraq, he said that if Europe had more independence at that time and stood against Washington, it might not have been a global strategic disaster.

“Many European couries were right about our invasion of Iraq,” Venus, who has a history of being in the US military and his mission in Iraq, said. “If they were more independe, they might have saved us from this disaster.”

He also repeated the Trump administration’s repeated criticism of the inefficiency of European armies, saying: “The reality – though bitter – is that the whole European security structure has been provided by the United States throughout my life. “Most European couries do not have armies that can defend themselves well.”

Ukraine War

Venus, who had previously criticized Ukrainian Preside Walodimir Zelksky at a coroversial summit with Trump, denied claims of the Trump administration’s support of Russian narratives about the war, saying: “Zelkski is in fact a governme that has actually eire governme and war.”

Emphasizing that if the Ukrainian war would end, Washington must understand the strategic goals of the parties – whether the Russians or Ukrainians -, he said it does not mean moral support for Russia or confirming the attack, but an attempt to ideify the red lines.

The effects of Trump’s tariffs

“In the long run, our goal is to reduce trade deficit in all areas,” Venus said in another part of his ierview, referring to Trump’s business policies. Sometimes, the commercial deficit is logical; But the curre world trade system has led to the creation of large and coinuous business deficits in most commodity areas; “While most couries have used the US market as a place to attract their surplus export.”

“This was bad for us; Was bad for American producers; “It is bad for our workers, and if – God forbid – America will go io war in the future, it will be bad for our soldiers.”

Venus confirmed that Trump’s tariffs have led to a significa fall in the World Stock Exchange. Although some of these losses have been offset, analysts have warned that the trade war will coinue to keep markets unstable. Accepting this financial turmoil, Venus emphasized that “the market is a price that needs to be funded to fundameally change the global business system.”

Business Relationships with Britain

Venus assessed the likelihood of such an agreeme with the UK, saying that the United States is trying to reach a trade agreeme with one of its closest historical allies.

“We are really working hard with the Kerry Starmer governme,” he said. The preside really loves Britain. She loved the queen and respects the king. This is a very importa relationship. Of course he is a mercha and has importa business relationships in the UK, but I think this relationship is beyond commercial ierests; There is a true cultural proximity. “Finally, America is an Anglo -Saxon coury.”

Venus said some European couries, including Germany, have a larger business deficit with the United States, so it would be more difficult to reach an agreeme with the European Union or three members.

“Our relationship with Britain is much more ieractive than Germany,” he added. “We love the Germans, but they are heavily depende on exports to the United States, while they have created many obstacles to the export of US companies to their market.”
